Plus Quilt and baby subway art

I made this plus quilt about a year ago, but the photos got stuck on my camera. I was finally able to download them. It's roughly the size of a full bed, so it'll be perfect on a twin sized bed. I made this quilt for my best friend's baby shower. The baby's room is purple and all done in butterflies.

On the front of the quilt are giant fleece butterflies that she can "play" with. The wings move!

I followed a simple Plus pattern that I graphed out on some old graph paper.

This is the quilt on a full sized mattress.

I also recently made this adorable baby subway art sign. I used my Cricut to cut out the letters from various carts. I then arranged them all on the canvas and mod podged the heck out of it. Do you see the silly numerical mistake I made? I didn't notice till we gave it to the new parents. So I took it back to fix it. Thank goodness the mod podge I used is not waterproof so I could scrape off the mistake!

Many games provide an online site which tells you whether your computer meets the minimum requirements for the game. First you download it, then this unique page runs you through some tests to see if you meet gaming requirements. If you don't like downloading things, bear in mind that you could just get the information and then delete the download.

Always use a high grade video connector when setting up your computer game system. These cables allow you to connect to your television with different picture qualities. You should use the best ones for online games. If you can, use DVI or HDMI in order to obtain the best possible signal and picture. If your television does not offer this type of connection, there are several options available including S-Video, Composite and RCA connections. Coax connections are common, but they offer lower quality. Only use these cables if they're the only ones available.

Get up frequently as you play a game. If you do not take breaks, your body will remain stuck in the same position. Additionally, if you sit immobile for long periods of times, you will get cramps and perhaps even blood clots. Your body will thank you for your efforts.

If you are buying a new playstation, make sure that everything works after you purchase it. Even if you're not going to use every accessory for it, check the various ports to see if they're in working condition. If you discover a problem months after your purchase, such as a broken headphone jack, you won't be able to exchange the ps3 for a new one.

When someone wants to purchase a computer game system, there are plenty of choices. Be sure to research and read reviews before deciding which system you prefer. It is important to know if the company carries a majority of titles that your family will enjoy. When you have chosen a system, look at how much memory this system has. There are many download options for most games and this content can fill a hard drive quickly. To make sure, buy a system that has enough memory.

Check the Internet for tips and tricks for you favorite games. When you get stuck somewhere in a game, it can frustrate you and maybe even make you give up. Consulting a walkthrough or asking other gamers on a message board is the surest way to conquer that tough level and start enjoying the game again.

Instead of a computer, try a regular gaming playstation system for your kids gaming pleasure. It is easier to control things like privacy and content on a ps3 than it is on a PC. They may have a much more protected experience with a system.

If you have a kid and they get too aggressive when they play too many online games, you may need to put them into some sort of a time out. Give him a 10-minute warming, and then call an end to the game. Suggested activities include exercise or playing outside. This will focus his mind on something less stressful.

One nice thing you can do for your children if they play video games is to set aside a specific room (a basement is ideal) for their hobby. Kids can be noisy, so putting them elsewhere can keep your home more comfortable. Try designing a computer game area.

Buy used games. New online games can cost more than fifty dollars. Spending that amount of money only to find out that the game isn't your cup of tea is a costly mistake. If you buy used, you may be able to get 25 percent to 50 percent off of a game that you are interested in.

You can go to sleep when you are dead! This common myth is believed by gamers and is also propagated by online websites which claim to provide good gaming ideas . Completely false! A person needs a full 8 hours to keep their body healthy.

If you have children, ensure that you're limiting the amount of online game play time your children have. Try not to let your kids play for over two hours every day since it can rearrange their priorities and strain their hands and eyes.

You shouldn't play online games all day long; keep it down to a couple of hours at most. Playing these games can lead to an addiction, which can impact your social life. Do not exceed more than three hours of game play per day. If you have sessions longer than that, make sure you are taking breaks often.

It can be tempting to go all out buying expansion packs, add-ons and upgrades for your new game. This can get very pricey! Instead, be disciplined with your spending. Check out what you've got in the game you bought and only add on what you can afford.

Figure out how to operate the safety and parental controls of any gaming system that comes into your home. You can likely make adjustments that keep kids from viewing mature content.

About Me

I am a 30 something real Jersey girl - a Jersey Shore girl - and not like something you see on TV. I'm an English teacher and I love what I teach. I live less than 5 miles from the beach and spend as much time there as possible in any season (the beach with snow is an amazing site!). I love to craft - everything from yarn arts, to sewing to scrapbooking. I love natural health and cleaning products too! I am always trying something new.
